Chapter 25
A Little Chat With Luna.
Onyx was in Luna’s new room; she took one closer to her sister’s bedroom. All morning she was busy with redecorating and painting the walls. Her room was painted in a deep, dark blue adorned with many constellations, her bed the same color. The room had access to a balcony like her sister’s.
“Onyx, please come help us move this desk; We want it closer to my bed than to the door, but not too far from the balcony … nope, a little more to left … hmm. Maybe more to the right...”
“Luna, I didn’t come here for this! You’re supposed to teach me what I’ll need to know for when you’re gone with Mom,” Onyx said as he stopped pushing the piece of furniture. Say Onyx, while he was moving for the fourth time the same desk since he was here.
“Umm … ok, if you’d like to start now,” Luna sighed heavily before closing the deep dark door to her room.
Onyx was anxious for the lesson to begin; he was stressed not only because he would need to rule the kingdom during the night, but he would also have to keep a close eye on his cousin. Celestia came to his room yesterday, telling him that she understood why he chose the night shift and that she was proud of his decision. His mother also warned him to be wary of how Blueblood while ruled in her absence.
Luna slipped through the door out onto the balcony, beckoning Onyx to follow. The two looked upon the city; they saw ponies closing up their shops and heading home for the evening, others walking with their families to restaurants or the theater. Luna closed her eyes, tapping into her magic. The moon slowly rose from the east; the sky darkened as her older sister lay the sun below the western horizon.
Once the sky was the very same deep, dark blue of the Night Princess’s bedchambers, stars appeared here and there; Luna knew ecxactly where each belonged in its astrological sign by heart. When she finished she turned to look at Onyx; gazing towards the sky, his eyes reflected his fascination.
“Lu-Luna that was wonderful...” Luna and Onyx smiled at each other and returned their eyes to the moon.
“Our sister told us of how you were fascinated by magic. How you and your mother’s student studied the field of magic during your free time, even though you were unable to practice it.... Could we know why?”
Onyx took a seat at her side and began his story.
“Well, as far back as I can remember, I was alway thinking that magic was something of wonderful, even just a simple levitation spell was something special to watch. So when i was … four or five I think, I tried to learn magic by reading books and scrolls. After many failed attempts and broken glass, mother explained to me how it was impossible for me to use magic. I remember crying before throwing a book at her face in anger. I had to make at least six or seven dozen pancakes before I could forgive myself for such an act; ever since then, I never tried to practice magic again,” Onyx said, laughing fondly at this early memory.
“Then Twilight came into my life … well, more into the castle, same thing. She restored my passion for magic. We decided to help each other, reading every spell book and talking about magic in the Royal Library.... Unfortunately, the Gryphon Emperor took me away shortly thereafter...”
Onyx paused during the midst of a flashback from the ten years he was captive of the Emperor. Luna did not bother him; she of all ponies knew the hardships of being separated from one’s family, leaving Onyx to take his time.
“After I returned, Twilight an I shared … something special. It was really awkward talking with her after that ... until one day when I found her in the library reading a book. I think it was called “Advanced Spells and Potions from Starswirl the Bearded,” I sat next to her and we read part of it together; it talked about how Starswirl was expirementing with a potion that could enhance a pony’s special talent. It was the first time we had talked in a while without all the awkward feelings about what happened between us. So we started meeting each day to talk about magic again; even though I can’t use it, I know that if I can learn what’s in these books, I can talk abouth it with Twilight. I remember giving her “The Book of Starswirl” on her birthday; it’s like our special book...”
Luna was trying to decide on whether she should face-hoof herself into a coma, or straight up ask her sister if she had dropped him as a baby. Although she had met Twilight only once, with the story Onyx just told her it was obvious the two should date. So why was he with that insufferable blue mare the other day?
“That’s quite a cute story, nephew, but … may we ask of the blue mare whom we saw in your room the other day?”
Onyx, not finding the question strange, answered, “Well, were dating; if I remember correctly we met up after a magic show she was performing at a bar, she was not really good at first but then i show her how to upgrade her show......unfortunatly we broke up yesterday, just before i come to meet you at the dinner.”
“Oh … um … do you have anypony else in mind?”
“Well, not really. I haven’t really thought about it, but … wait a minute. Aren’t you supposed to be teaching me how to run the night court while you and mom are away?” questioned Onyx.
“So close,” thought Luna; she began the lesson before he could catch on to what she was trying to do. Maybe Cadance will have more luck than her.

Heyo! Just read the chapter. Nice short chapter, I'll wait for the next as always
2288025

Hey if Onyx is Cadance's cousin wouldnt that make Twilight and him realated when the wedding between Shining and Cadence happens?
2288075
probably
ok great story by the way deserves a moustache
Good to have you back i missed this while it was away
Good to see another update.
2288124
well you should get the next chapter soon, i finish it only need to get it edited
Short, but good nonetheless .
2288142cant wait
a nother good chapter. keep it up i look fowrd to the next.
will be back later today to read that chapter...
keep calm and read stories that kill the useless
Oh come on, even Luna is telling that those 2 should be together? Well, I suppose we will had to wait to Candace verdict to see if Onyx has feelings for her, but that will not be awkward? when Candace an Shining will get married, they will become cousins…they dating will be wrong, so much wrong, besides, for the explanation, Onyx isn't in love with Twilight he is in love with magic, Twilight is only the basel that started all.
And I think is similar to Twilight, she is not in love with Onyx, she is just confusing friendship with relationship, at least that is what I think.
I still had hopes for Rarity
Romance????? ....what who with?
if you end up making Onyx able to raise the moon, if onyx wears an alicorn amulet will he be able to do magic
2288075 Well hey it's better than all the people suggesting for him to end up with Luna. Seriously people, why?!
2288524
people are crazy sometime....or most of the time
Didn't you say in an earlier note that you were a native French speaker?
2288535
eeyup i'm from Quebec why?
2288547 I'm a native English speaker who is taking French in high school and I can tell. I can see the French syntax being brought into the story. I just wanted to confirm my suspicions.
2288075 If that happened, would that "event" become to be looked back as incest?
So close!
Oh quebec? I hope you aren't one of those french-canadians faggots who always comes in and buck things up here in New York.
So close Luna, so close...^^
I hope the next chapter will be a bit longer.
2288075
But Cadence is considered to be Celestia's adopted neice, according to Lauren Faust that is. So it shouldn't seem that weird.
2288697
Soraka is a banana
yay nice!
I can tell how things are going to turn out and I'm buzzing to read next chapter
2288591
Need I to voice my opinion on that subject again?
2288621 hey baddie watch yourself
2289159
Good, it's nice to know that I'm not alone
2289284
well i do too but unfortunatly i could not made it in the story....well atleast now she is 18
2289432
Makes sense
One grammar error that I saw. Well I'm glad that your not sick anymore. I missed this for a while.
2288524
which is not incest at all. god, why do ppl hate lunaxonxy shipping? lol
2289432
not sure if "so close" meant for twilight....or her self in dating him
2290395 Because it might as well be.
2290497
yeah....if they was related in anyway but their not, so its fine.
Hohoho!
So that's how you plan on doing it, nicely played.
I await more. :D
Also this 2289695
2288053 Umm, Alex ... what's with ^ those? Although I must say, "Thank you for changing the document settings from French over to English; it makes my job easier by miles;" you need to put any changes on the shared google doc so these little slip ups don't happen. If I hadn't known better, I'd have thought you were trying to christen an S.S. Onyx x Luna.
Also, the new chapter just needs two minor tweaks and I can have it back to you, polished and ready to go Wednesday, 5 p.m. EST.
2288075>>2288524>>2288950>>2290395>>2290497 Because princest is wincest.
matchmaker Luna is on the case!
2291237 do you mean as in finished chap. 26 and most likely to be posted up today, 3/20/2013?
-TBMF
2291112 I said might as well as in the fact that he's Celestia's adopted son, so Luna's his aunt. Sure they aren't related by blood, but if they consider each other as family, that makes it wrong.
So far the hen's death was the most heart wrenching, tearjerking and depressing scene that I've ever read.
*snicker* yah luna so close
Heh. Heh. HEH.
3306966, Oh sweet merciful jesus
